Abstract

The article focuses on the work of Asma Jahangir and Hina Jilani, two sisters from Pakistan that are both lawyers who are helping to lead a democratic movement in the country that is causing political problems for Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf, a key U.S. ally. The movement believes that Musharraf's government has divided the country and has failed to stem a rise of Islamic extremism that threatens the nation's security.
